I see nothing in Patrick's wording that implies that he is speaking
for the designers.  It looks like he is speaking for users and
attempting to explain why people may have ignored the new web site
design announcement when it went out.

I think most people don't think about design until it gets in their way.

It could have been more productive if you weren't so defensive.  In
this example, Patrick's comment was quite benign, but you posted an
inflammatory reply.

I post this not to stir up any animosity, but to give a specific
example where the original poster was quite polite and you replied
with the wrong assumptions of intent.

Everyone makes mistakes, though you make fewer mistakes when you learn
from the past.
